Makem and Spain are taking this opportunity to announce to their friends and fans that as of this writing, Conor Makem is no longer a member of the band. In November, 2013, Conor had taken a temporary leave of absence from touring to deal with a personal issue. That leave has now become permanent. Rory, Mickey and Liam will continue to tour as Makem and Spain and they look forward to seeing you at an upcoming performance.
